"the countless food trucks " are you serious? there were MAYBE 7 trucks (if you count the coffee truck) - all of which had a 30 minute line.
You forgot to mention how oversold the space was, how horribly laid out it was, the lack of meaningful signage, the stroller and baby brigades, and the general inhuman mess that was navigating and trying to "enjoy" that "fair". It was a poorly executed, underserved ,and overhyped.
The makerfaire was nothing but hype and revenue farming from a nascent industry, and a shitty farm at that; but hey, at least it gave 20,000 metro area parents something to do with their barely conscious kids during a weekend.
